    2790197 (close to the end of the 200) has 6 fuses and bumpers, silver $ gauges of a pre '71 model. Whilst this car has also been resto'd, it is unlikely that that a 12 fuse system would be changed to a 6 fuse one. So I'll bet on all 200 being pre '71 models.

    No clue how good the bumpers are, but the front overriders leave something to be desired. Why weren't they made to look original? If replicating the "Euro" overriders, then they should point directly down the road, not to the side. From 02 bumpers & per BMW

    Can't be 100%, but I believe your car was owned by faq board member hankeester. He ebayed the car Dec '19 but no VIN was noted (hence can't be 100%). If it is, it was a real quick turnaround by the MI shop. https://www.bmw2002faq.com/forums/topic/252157-1971-bmw-2002/?page=2&tab=comments#comment-1378810 Maybe send him a message.

    Tom, 2392592 Polaris with sunroof, was on Ebay in 2007 and was in Laguna Hills, CA. No newer news on it unfortunately.

    Of the ones I know of in North America, 25 are Inka + 2 Green (orig Inka) & 1 Fjord (orig Inka). So, around 20% of those in NA are Inka.

    Unusual gearing for a 140mph speedo. They were used on UK tiis, and at least one base Touring (mine!) and, I believe, they came with 3:64 gearing.

    Congratulations. You are the 104th Owner of a Touring in North America (that I know of).

    "Distance Pieces". They go between the rear chrome bumper and the bumper bracket on USA pre '74s & all Euros. Part No. 51 12 5 470 065

    Being a circa April 1972 build it would not have the "timing cut-out". So, it could well be the original car with later nose and tail panel. Updating '02s to "square-lights" was not uncommon in Europe, where many thought the model 73 was a change in the right direction, unlike the thoughts in USA due to the unwieldly bumpers. JMHO

    We have a winner. You are correct. That's the 2nd SC car on Ebay currently. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-BMW-2002/283807395942

    Don't know if the plumbing arrgt in the car would help any, but here's some pics from the sale of the car back in 2014. A plumber's nightmare!

    However, according to the parts book...….the ti had the same gas tank as all other '02 models at that time, ie no bolt-in fuel pick up hole in it.
  15. 02Les
    Your orig post above mentioned 70.000 (hence my not understanding) & 1972 tii, so I thought you were referring to round light tiis. You are most correct with your totals (add 7460 Euro tii squares & 2928 US tii squares) AND not to forget a grand total of 3680 RHD tiis. Also noted in "The BMW 2002" book published 1996.

    Not understanding your numbers here...……..FYI Euro LHD tii built (calendar year) 1971 7293 1972 8726 1973 4095 total 20,114 US tii built (calendar year) 1971 422 1972 2797 1973 1302 total 4521

    The changeover from screw-in to bolt-in fuel pick up was from 2761963 to 2761964 according to the parts book. No info given on filler neck, but, again according to the parts book, the same filler tube was used from 2760001 & on.

    What Jimk said. Knowing how small the washer nozzle orifice is, grease will probable get stuck in there and block it, thus making you think the pump's gone south again.

    Are you sure Verona with Tobacco interior was stock in Europe? Can't remember ever seeing that combo in Europe. I guess in Europe we could order the interior colour we wanted, but don't think it was stock, as in "suggested in the brochures". Of course, I could be wrong?

    That was a quick Ownership. It was for sale in CA 4 months ago.
  21. 02Les
    Agreed. It seems as there is always a Touring for sale somewhere in the UK. Considering 1537 model 71 and a mere 339 model 73 RHD Tourings were built, it's quite amazing how they have lasted in quantity.

    Keep the knee trim and fit the correct OEM bumpers (incl the front over-riders) for a '74 Euro - just like the Germans originally designed it.

    Lucian, With all respect, phone the Insurance Co every day. Make yourself a nuisance to them. Assuming they get back to you, let us know what they say. We can advise and hopefully help.

    I don't see it, do you have another picture??
